1955 Map of Meade River A-2

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Meade River meanders across this Arctic landscape, defined by a dense network of thaw lakes and migratory watercourses within the National Petroleum Preserve In Alaska. The 1955 survey data reveals a wilderness largely untouched by permanent settlement, marked instead by ephemeral transport routes. The primary terrestrial infrastructure consists of a Winter Tractor Trail and various other seasonal trails, which were essential for traversing the swampy, low-relief terrain during the colder months. Named water features like Agutiroak Creek, Usuktuk River, and Piksiksak Creek indicate a complex hydrological system where drainage patterns are often subtle and overlapping. The presence of Singiluk provides a rare point of named locality amidst the expanse of tundra and wetlands, while features like Pisiksagiavik Cr highlight the Indigenous naming conventions preserved by the Geological Survey.
